• endurance, power, balance, coordination, speed

• cardiovascular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, agility, body composition

Explain the difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercise in relation to physical fitness.

• Aerobic exercise requires oxygen to produce energy, while anaerobic exercise does not require oxygen to produce energy.

• Aerobic exercise is only done in the gym, while anaerobic exercise is done outdoors.
